DISTRICT GOVERNOR

DENNIS NORMAN T. GO MESSAGE My dear Best Class team,

y desire is for each and every Rotarian in D3790 to be able to access My Rotary at www.rotary.org and get all the information you need to know when you begin your journey this 2014-2015. Likewise, we have a district website and yahoogroups list that will help us communicate to one another, share our projects, and learn from each other’s experiences. I urge you to subscribe to D3790bestclass@yahoogroups.com, by sending email to: d3790bestclass-subscribe@yahoogroups.com Then, in the subject line enter “subscribe” In the text section include your name, office, and email address. Doing business with Rotary is completely online now. It will be advantageous for a club to have its own website or presence in social media. That is how your friends, other Rotary clubs, and prospective project partners can find you.

s.com I am almost on my last leg of visit to our clubs. About 65% of the clubs in our district had had their inductions. I thank my AGs and district leaders for initiating joint inductions. They are more fun and economical, aside from the genuine fellowship that each one gets. Let us continue to do good work, and only then that we can light up Rotary, God bless our district. DENNIS NORMAN T. GO JULY 2014

MESSAGE from ROTARY INTERNATIONAL PRESIDENT

find many traditional Chinese values reflected in Rotary: values of service and responsibility, of respect for family and for others. Sometimes I call Confucius the world's first Rotarian, because even though he died 2,500 years before Rotary was founded, his ideas are very much Rotary ideas. And one of the things he said was: 與其抱怨，不如改變. In English, you say, "It is better to light a single candle than to sit and curse the darkness." I think that one line sums up the way we in Rotary approach the problems of the world. There is so much difficulty. There are so many people who need help. Many people look at this and say, "There is nothing I can do." So they do nothing – and nothing changes. But this is not the Rotary way. The Rotary way is to light a candle. I light one candle, you light one candle – and so do 1.2 million other Rotarians. Together, we can do so much more than we could ever do alone. Together, we can light up the world. In 2014-15, I am asking each of you to light your own Rotary candle – and Light Up Rotary together. There are so many ways to Light Up Rotary. I hope many of you will choose to host a Rotary Day, to show your community what Rotary is and what we do. I hope you will involve your Rotaract and Interact clubs in your service, to bring the new generation of the Rotary family closer to Rotary membership. And I hope you will keep Rotary strong by inviting new members into Rotary – including your own spouses and family. Perhaps the most important thing we can do to Light Up Rotary together is to finish the job we've been working on for more than a quarter of a century: the eradication of polio. We are so close to our goal. But we will get there only if we keep up the fight, keep up the momentum, and close the funding gap for the polio endgame plan.

from the bottom of my heart.

JULY 2014

GARY C. K. HUANG Rotary Club of Taipei

Light Up Rotary together is our theme for this year, but it is more than just a theme. It is how we in Rotary see the world and our role in it. We believe that no one should sit alone in the darkness. Instead, we can come together, all 1.2 million of us, to Light Up Rotary. This is our goal – and my challenge to you.

Gary C.K. Huang President 2014-15l

MESSAGE from THE ROTARY FOUNDATION TRUSTEE CHAIR

Goals for a new year.

t is an honor and a privilege to serve this Rotary year as chair of our Rotary Foundation. And we should be proud to call it our Foundation, for each day millions of people are touched by the magic of Rotary â&#x20AC;&#x201C; made possible only by the service and dedication of Rotarians throughout the world. Our Foundation is the engine that drives the Rotary machine. It gives us the chance to see and fulfill the opportunities for service both within our community and internationally. Your Foundation Trustees have set five goals for the year. JOHN KENNY Trustee Chair 2014-15

The first goal is the eradication of the poliovirus from the face of the earth. We have much to be proud of in our efforts to rid the world of this dreaded disease, but we must finish the job. We cannot let up in our efforts. We cannot undo all the good work that has been done in the past. Our second goal is to continue to support Rotary's own charity, The Rotary Foundation, through our contributions. The good that we do is limited only by what we receive. Let us ensure that clubs who have made no contributions to our Foundation do so this year. Our third goal is to ensure the progress of our new grants program by participating in sustainable educational and humanitarian projects. Our fourth goal is to foster goodwill and peace by promoting and publicizing the Rotary Peace Centers program, whose purpose is to create a cadre of individuals dedicated to peace and conflict resolution. Our fifth goal is to emphasise that the responsibility for the future of our Foundation is in all our hands so that we can continue doing good in the world as we endeavor to Light Up Rotary. I look forward to your support. John Kenny Foundation Trustee Chair

TOP10THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT the NEW

rotary

FOUNDATION MODEL

IAN RISELEY Foundation Trustee Foundation Finance Committee Chair

’ve been very involved in the development of our Foundation’s new funding model and have closely followed the questions being raised about it in social media and elsewhere. The new funding model for The Rotary Foundation was developed because our ability to continue “doing good in the world” depends heavily on the Foundation having long-term financial stability. In the interests of improved communication and understanding of the changes, here are 10 important things to know about the new model, which becomes effective on 1 July 2015. 1. Rotarians and clubs will benefit Rotary’s strength lies in the talents and dedication of its members and clubs. The recent recession showed that we must have adequate reserves in our Rotary Foundation to ensure that we don’t have to cut programs and services in times of poor investment returns, and the increased volatility in financial markets emphasized the need for an adequate level of reserves. The new funding model is necessary to ensure resources are available to support the work of Rotarians now and in the future. The Foundation’s current policy is to maintain an operating reserve equal to three years’ worth of operating expenses. 2. 3. 4. 5.

PolioPlus Fund contributions are not affected in any way Endowment Fund Contributions are not affected in any way District Designated Funds are not affected in any way 5% of Annual Fund contributions are set aside from the World Fund

After Annual Fund contributions are invested, 50% will continue to go to District Designated Funds (DDF) and 50% to the World Fund. The 5% being set aside to help pay for the Foundation’s operating expenses will come from the World Fund, but will only be used if needed to pay those expenses or to fully fund the operating reserve. If they are not needed for those purposes, they may remain in the World Fund for grants. 6. 5% of cash contributions for global grants set aside Under the current system, cash contributed in support of a grant by clubs and districts requires administration, but provides no investment income to meet the cost of that administration, because the funds are not retained by the Foundation for any length of time and therefore do not generate investment income. The 5% set aside from cash contributions for global grants will help pay the costs of processing, etc. It is not uncommon for many clubs to support a single global grant, and some clubs include payments from many members, thus requiring donor recognition to be processed for each contribution. Cash may also need to be converted into one of the 28 official Rotary currencies and then transferred to an international bank account for the project to be implemented.

JULY 2014

7. Up to 10% of corporate gifts set aside Using up to 10% of large corporate contributions for operating expenses is a well-accepted practice among donors to charities. By obtaining such gifts, the Foundation can increase support for the projects in our areas of focus. Our polio eradication efforts, for example, have benefitted greatly from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s support. Up to 10% of these gifts will contribute to our administration costs, thus leaving more funds to support the grants for clubs and districts. 8. A communication plan is in place The Trustees recognize that open, clear communication fosters Rotarians’ continued support of, and active involvement in, Foundation programs. The first step in the funding model communication plan was an announcement on rotary.org with a link to Securing Our Foundation’s Future. Watch for more information in Rotary media, coming soon. 9. Training and resources are being developed Training manuals for officers and committees at the district and club levels are being updated, and webinars and e-learning modules are being developed. For details, contact fundingmodel@rotary.org. 10. The Foundation has a record of financial stewardship and transparency Our Foundation has consistently earned high ratings for sound fiscal management from Charity Navigator and other agencies. Find more on Foundation finances and ratings. Questions or comments? Please, contact fundingmodel@rotary.org. I hope you will continue to make our Foundation one of your preferred charities. Every contribution is important and deeply appreciated. The projects and work we accomplish together as Rotarians are life changing.

JULY 2014

New Club Invoice- Frequently Asked Questions What is the reason for the change? The Rotary International Board of Directors approved this change in order to improve your club invoice experience. With timely new member updates, your club's new members will start to feel engagement with Rotary much sooner. In addition, your club will no longer spend time filling out worksheets, recalculating dues owed, or writing in new members. With the change, your club will read the one page invoice and pay the amount owed. How does this affect me as a club or district officer? Club secretaries are the primary officer with new duties. They are asked to make membership updates, including adding new members and removing terminated members, as they occur or within 30 days. Your club secretary also needs to report incoming club officers by 1 February each year. The rest of the team plays an important supporting role, too. Club and district officers should be aware of these changes and assist club secretaries with making these timely membership updates as requested. You say that this makes the dues process easier; explain how it does that? Beginning 1 January 2015, each club will receive a one-page invoice that clearly states the amount of membership dues, subscriptions, and any outstanding balances owed to Rotary. This will replace the current mailing that includes the semiannual report, 1-2 worksheets depending on your region, new member forms, the club roster, and a set of detailed instructions. You will no longer need to recalculate the amount your club owes. The invoice will use membership numbers received by Rotary by 1 January and 1 July of each year. Where do I report members online? Club officers can update membership on My Rotary by signing in and navigating to Manage Club Administration Add/edit/ remove member. If you need assistance with this process please contact your Club and District Support representative.

New Club Invoice- Frequently Asked Questions When will I see these updates reflected in my club's membership list? Updates made in My Rotary are reflected in Rotary International's database immediately. Updates made via integrated local databases will require additional time for manual processing (see information on data integration below). When is the last date I can report membership changes to ensure my invoice reflects the current membership list? Membership updates made in My Rotary should be entered no later than 1 January or 1 July. New members added via integrated local databases, or any other membership changes that 01-May2014 require manual processing (consult the integration options on the Member Data Integration site) must be received by Rotary International by 1 January or 1 July. Given the complexities associated with sending your changes via fax, mail, or data integration, you are strongly encouraged to provide these changes well before the received by Rotary International deadline of 1 July and 1 January. What if my club doesn't have a secretary? All club officers (president, secretary, treasurer, foundation chair, membership chair, and executive secretary) have access to edit membership data. If your club does not have a secretary, or your club's secretary is unable to make membership updates, the club can choose another officer who is qualified to help with this responsibility. I reported my membership changes using an integrated local database. Why doesn't RI have these changes? The most common reason for changes not syncing with the RI database is because the local database has not been officially integrated. For data integration to work properly, a club officer will need to opt in to the integration by selecting the vendor of the local database in My Rotary (Manage Club Administration Add or remove vendor partner organization). The club must also opt in to direct integration via the local database, (instructions will vary based on the database used). Additionally, club IDs and member IDs must match the IDs listed in the RI database. When will I receive the invoice? Invoices will be emailed to clubs by the end of January and July. How much time will I have to review and pay the invoice? Beginning 1 January 2015, clubs are required to pay all outstanding dues within 120 days of the due date. For example, for the 1 January 2015 club invoice, the payment must be made to Rotary by no later than 30 April 2015; and 28 October for the 1 July 2015 club invoice). 01-May-2014 Will I be able to make adjustments on the invoice? No. All membership updates should be made so that they are reflected in Rotary's records by 1 January and 1 July to ensure that the invoice includes the club's most current membership. Clubs are required to pay the amount as listed on the invoice. Will I get a list of members with my invoice? After the January 2015 dues period, the club invoice will no longer include a list of members. The invoice will show the number of members used to calculate the dues balance, but the roster will not be included with the invoice beginning July 2015. As a club officer, if you need to see a list of your club's official membership list used to calculate your invoice, navigate to Manage Club Administration Semiannual dues invoice Print The Membership List. When must my club's subscription preferences be updated in order to be reflected on the invoice? Changes in subscription preferences should be made before each billing cycle. Clubs should indicate changes in subscriptions no later than 1 January or 1 July in order for those changes to be reflected on the upcoming invoice. The club will be subscribed to the chosen publication for the whole billing cycle and may change to a different publication for the next billing cycle by indicating this change before the next cycle. Will there be someone on staff who can answer questions on this change? Certainly. Please contact your Club and District Support or Finance representative with specific questions, or clubinvoice@rotary.org with general questions and a staff member will be happy to respond.

OTHER CONCERNS

epresentatives from Rotary's 532 districts met in downtown Chicago 21-26 April, approving a number of measures designed to strengthen Rotary, increase membership, and enhance the organization's capacity to serve. 2013 Council considered more than 170 enactments and resolutions proposed by Rotary clubs, districts, or the RI Board. The Council on Legislation meets every three years to consider changes to the policies that govern Rotary International and its member clubs. This year's Council accepted an increase of US$1 per year in per capita dues, removed limits on e-clubs, permitted satellite clubs to help members develop the core for a new club, and changed the name of the fifth Avenue of Service to "Youth Service." The dues increase means Rotary clubs will pay Rotary International annual per capita dues of $54 in 2014-15, $55 in 2015-16, and $56 in 2016-17. Dues for 2013-14 had already been set to $53. Approved a measure allowing participation in club projects to count toward club attendance requirements. The measure amends the Standard Rotary Club Constitution to require that a member attend or make up at least 50 percent of regular club meetings or engage in club projects for at least 12 hours in each half of the year, or a combination of both. Approved a measure creating the office of vice governor, who would act as a substitute if the governor became unable to serve. The vice governor would be selected by the district's nominating committee from among the district's past governors. Increased the number of clubs that can take part in pilot projects from 200 to 1,000. The RI Board uses these pilots, which last for up to six years, to test new ideas, methods, and organizational frameworks for clubs. Pilot clubs that participate in these experiments are fully functioning Rotary clubs but are exempt from some requirements of the Standard Rotary Club Constitution. There are currently a number of pilot projects that are addressing membership; these are all membership pilot programs: Associate Membership Corporate Membership Innovation and Flexible Clubs Satellite Club Membership JULY 2014

he concept of a “Satellite Club” was developed to provide an alternative approach to establish Rotary Clubs. The concept gives Clubs the opportunity to start up a small group with the ultimate intention of forming a new club in due course. It is also a means of involving prospective members in Rotary activities before any new club is chartered. A Satellite Club is anticipated to have a minimum of 6 members on inception. Ÿ Satellite Clubs are an extension of a Rotary Club. They do

not have their own charter, constitution of bylaws.

What is a

Club?

Ÿ They can have a differing “model” to offer more flexibility and

attract members that may not have ever joined the Rotary Club as is. Ÿ They may look and feel like a separate club because they will have their own leadership and committees but these leadership roles and committess are expected to be in close partnership with the core Rotary Club. Ÿ The purpose is not to only run independent projects and fundraising - it’s creating additional opportunities for all members to get involved where they are passionate. The focus should be joint involvement and joint support.

GUIDELINES

t the 2013 Council on Legislation provision was made for the formation of satellite clubs and these Guidelines are prepared for the purpose of assisting clubs in the District to understand the provisions and implement action to form satellite clubs if so desired. What is a satellite club? A satellite club is defined as “a potential club whose members can also be members of the sponsor club”. It is likely that the satellite club would not initially have the required number of members to charter a club and the purpose of conducting the satellite club is to give the potential club time to obtain the required number of members for chartering. Thus there needs to be a sponsor club which forms the satellite club in the same locality as the sponsor club, or in the surrounding area. The name of the satellite club shall be the “Rotary Satellite Club of (insert name which does not have to mirror exactly the name of the sponsoring club but needs to be an adjoining location, eg. Eynesbury for Melton Valley RC)” 14

JULY 2014

The members of the satellite club can also be members of the sponsor club until such time as the satellite club shall be admitted into membership of RI as a Rotary Club. Satellite clubs shall hold regular weekly meetings just like any Rotary club at a time and day decided by its members. Governance of a Satellite Club The sponsor club shall provide such general oversight and support to a satellite club as is deemed appropriate by the sponsor club’s board. There shall be a satellite club board comprising a chairman, immediate past chairman, chairmanelect, secretary and treasurer as well four to six other members of the club. The board shall be elected annually by the satellite club members.The satellite board shall be responsible for the day to day organization and management of the satellite club and its activities in accordance with rotary rules, requirements, policies, aims and objectives under the guidance of the sponsor club. It shall have no authority within, or over, the sponsor club. A satellite club shall annually submit to the president and board of the sponsor club a report on its membership, its activities and programs, accompanied by a financial statement and audited accounts for inclusion in the sponsor club’s reports for its annual general meeting and such other reports as may, from time to time, be required by the sponsor club. The satellite club shall be subject to the sponsor club’s rules and bylaws.

E clubs

otary e-clubs are a lot like other Rotary clubs: they meet weekly, carry out service projects, support The Rotary Foundation, and socialize with each other. So what’s different about eclubs? You join your meeting online when it’s convenient for you, day or night, any day of the week. How does an e-club operate? E-club members use webinars, video conferencing, message boards, instant messaging, or tools like Skype and Google Hangout to communicate. For example, a club member might post content online for that week’s meeting, then other members join the discussion throughout the week. Some e-club members also meet in person at service projects, social activities or the RI Convention. Who can join an e-club? Each e-club is based in a specific district but its members can be from anywhere in the world. Some e-clubs focus their membership in a particular region or community.

E-clubs need: Ÿ A dedicated website Ÿ Founding members who are able to manage the

An e-club could be right for you if you: Ÿ Have a busy schedule and need a

flexible meeting time Ÿ Live in different places throughout the year Ÿ Travel frequently Ÿ Have limited mobility Any Rotarian can make up a missed meeting by participating in an e-club online meeting. How do I start an e-club? Applying for membership in RI as a Rotary e-club is essentially the same process as applying as a Rotary club. Contact your district governor first. The governor is responsible for organizing and establishing new clubs and will work with the district extension committee to that end. The governor will also need to initiate a New Club Survey and appoint a special representative and sponsor club to assist in planning, as outlined in the RI publication Organizing New Clubs: A Guide for District Governors and Special Representatives.

club’s website. Membership in an e-club requires Internet skills set, including the ability to navigate websites with ease. Members should also have a working knowledge of the principles of protecting privacy online, so that no club member compromises another’s sensitive personal information. An online meeting platform to host meetings Private sections of the website that only members can access to protect members’ online personal data Online financial transaction systems that allow members to pay dues, make donations, or process payments The ability for visiting Rotarians to make up a club meeting

E-clubs are responsible for all costs associated with purchasing a URL and hosting their website on the Internet. What are the policies for e-clubs? The RI Bylaws allow for two e-clubs per district. Rotary eclubs are considered by the RI Board to be worldwide. While each e-club is assigned to a district, members can come from any country or geographical area where Rotary maintains a presence.

DISCUSSION

â&#x20AC;&#x153; Chit Lijauco Managing Editor at Philippine Tatler Lack of PRIDE in our organization. Sad. Considering our rich history and amazing organizational structure, which to me are enough to douse the disappointment over self-serving, egotistical (I call them the "I, ME, MY CLUB") Rotarians and Rotary leaders. Peter Lattey Chief Architect at Peter Lattey Architectural Consulting I don't think you can talk about long term viability without talking about membership because that is what it all comes down to. If people aren't happy with the organization, they wont join or will leave. Having said that, I think a huge issue is the lack of flexibility of the attitude in the senior leadership. An example; There is a pilot project trying out more flexibility in meeting frequency. Our club went onto a twice a month schedule. In the past 3 years we have gone from a failing club with 4 members to a thriving, 100% PHF club of 17 members with several more new members in the wings. A huge factor in this success is the less frequent meetings. The reaction of RI has been to cancel the project and inform the clubs that weekly meetings are required. Why? I can only guess because that is the way we have always done it. Another example is the global grant application process. It is appears to be based on the notion that TRF money is someone else's money that we are applying for and so the process must be as difficult as possible. In fact, it is our money and the process should be as easy as possible

Beyond membership/retention, what do you see as the biggest threats facing Rotary's long-term sustainability?

David Kline Assistant Governor, District 5510 at Rotary Club of the Kyrene Corridor Tempe/Chandler I believe the biggest threat to Rotary International's long term sustainability is the growth of independent foundations and nonprofits. It has never been easier to set up single focus non-profit by individuals to tackle local and international issues. Aside from the generic "membership" mantra, I view it as very important to develop the ability to partner with these independent groups and to work with them and to make room for them in our clubs. Otherwise, the founders do not consider Rotary and these new foundations/non-profits attract people that would have been attracted to Rotary. PDG Victor Valverde Senior Consultant in investment matters. In my District, D 4970 Uruguay-South America, Rotarians are not well aware to the organization they belonged to. There is not, on most of the clubs, an instruction program to learn about RI. So, new members gets bored and leave. We are becoming a revolving door: they come in and go out.

The Public Image Grant program has been suspended for 2014-15 while we review our global marketing initiatives. We are not accepting new applications. Districts with a multiyear grant will receive sufficient funding to complete the final year

hen a visitor arrives at your meeting site - is there a sign - or better yet a Rotarian - that says "Rotary meets here today. Visitors are welcome"? Better yet, is there one or more parking spaces with a sign that says "Reserved for Rotary Visitors"? When they walk in, are they greeted by someone collecting money or are they welcomed by someone who immediately walks them around, introduces them to members, and invites them to sit with them? Is your meeting set up with a bunch of round tables seating 8 persons that are filled with no empty chairs? Does the table conversation focus on the visitor? Does the club pick up the tab for the visitor? Does everyone at the table have a ready statement about why Rotary is important to them? I challenge each of you to look at the first impression your club makes. How would you feel if you were a visitor to your club? Would you want to come back? - Jim Overman

PETS&DTTS

PRESIDENTS ELECT TRAINING SEMINAR DISTRICT TEAM TRAINING SEMINAR

DTTS 2014 by AG Glenn C. Manangan, DTTS Chair

PETS 2014

he Kamana Resort in Subic held more than 100 PEs and SEs for one day motivational session with power speakers arranged by District Trainor PDG Mark Go. The basics for Presidents Elect and Secretaries Elect were previously held weeks earlier (1 February) in Tarlac in a PRE-PETS event hosted by RC Tarlac Metro at Majarica Hotel. DG Dennis provided all the Light Up Rotary shirts for his Best Class team. Both events were beneficial and meaningful to the attendees.

n February 28, 2014, stalwarts of District 3790, comprising of eighty Incoming District Officers and Assistant Governors, gathered at the sprawling Subic Bay Yacht Club for the 2014 District Team Training Seminar with the Rotary Club of Subic as host. The event was aimed to further hone the leadership skills of the “Best Class” leaders to be well-prepared for the challenging role of helping Governor Dennis Norman Go achieve the goals set forth by the District. PDG Mark Go, District Trainer, lined up power speakers which included Ms. Edith Salazar, former Training Manager of Texas Instruments Philippines, with topic, “Leading in the Era of Social Media and Digital Technology”. During the break-out sessions, PDG Alvin Gonzales and PDG Jaypee Cadaing discussed the Roles and Responsibilities of the Assistant Governors (Group A) (all fourteen present) and the District Committee Chairs (Group B), respectively. For his part, our Best Class Governor, explained “Why Light Up Rotary” and “Engaging and Sharing Moment”. Although such event were undertaken yearly, new innovations in terms of best practices not only from the corporate world but practically from our day to day routine were shared by these speakers to serve as a meaningful tool for us to be able to adapt to our challenges as servant leaders.

The PETS and DTTS were indeed great tools, not only to enhance leadership skill, but also as avenues for team-building, renewal of friendship, and fellowship experience with our fellow Rotarians.

HOSTED BY

ROTARY CLUB

METRO SAN FERNANDO LA UNION HOTEL ARIANA, SAN FERNANDO LA UNION

Pres. Marilyn Hidalgo & PP Emelita Dela Cruz together with the rest of the host club spread the light.

Two hundred seventy Rotarians from Areas 1 & 2 attended the Membership Development Seminar last June 5, 2014 at Hotel Ariana, Bauang, La Union. This is so far the biggest MDS delegation that the Rotary Club of Metro San Fernando La Union has handled in its five- time hosting of the said District Affair. During the Opening Program, District Governor Dennis Go led the candle lighting ceremony. The room was filled with candle lights as the Doxology, “Go Light your World” was played. DG Dennis Go opened the ceremony.

“Rediscovering Rotary. Going back to basics” was theme chosen by District Trainer PDG Mark Go, who was one of the resource speakers. PDG Oyan Villanueva headed the abled and dynamic team of speakers who included PP Mon Dacayo, PP Mike Macatangay, PDG Ernie Ochoa and PP Raymond Ciriaco. PP Jerry Parlan, District Membership Committee Chair ended the MDS with the presentation of the District Membership Plan. - VIDA JOYCE MANGAOANG

Ron Nethercutt wrote: RC Metro San Fernando, Pampanga is to be commended for: 타 Starting on time 타 Having a good panel of speakers with a mix of PDGs and Pps. 타 The food was both unique and good. 타 The noon entertainment kept attention, and it appeared that the comedy in Kapampangan was understood by the majority. PDG Ernie Choa, Asst Rotary Coordina-tor for Zone 7A, discussed recruiting with emphasis on retention. His chart showed that many clubs are losing members that are in clubs from only 1 or 2 years. This raised the question, "Are new members leaving because clubs are not delivering what they promised?"

A SHOW of

FORCE and

good organization

Strategic Planning by PP "Mon" Dacayo, and Club Value Proposition by PP Raymond Ciriaco were quite interesting. The MDS concluded with final remarks at exactly 5:00 pm by DG Dennis Go.

BYOND DISASTER RELIEF PHILIPPINES

DISASTER RELIEF PHILIPPINES By PP RON NETHERCUTT

These photos show some of the activities taken by BYOND during the aftermath of Yolanda and at the meeting held in D 3790. By PP RON NETHERCUTT 30

JULY 2014

DG Jess Nicdao and Cluster 4-A of D 3790 recently hosted a presentation of BYOND Disaster Relief. Tom Henderson, CEO of BYOND, is not a new name to those involved in disasters. Tom was the founder of Shelter Box but has now founded BYOND which goes beyond supplying tents to those who have lost homes. Goes beyond furnishing tents, but also enables individuals, families and communities to recover and rebuild their lives, not only at the time of adversity, but continuing into the future. Tom who holds the OBE (Order of the British Empire) and PhD established BYOND in honor of his wife Jane Henderson, who passed away two years ago. Tom stated BYOND helps people rebuild their shattered communities and take disaster relief to the next level. He continued by saying that this new approach goes beyond furnishing tents, but also enables individuals, families and communities to recover and rebuild their lives, not only at the time of adversity, but continuing into the future. Joining Henderson at the activity in San Fernando, Pampanga were PDG Jess Nicdao, the CEO for BYOND Emergency Response-Philippines, but also PDG Benny Ricafort, President of KDF and 3800, Lass Peterson, BYOND Managing Director from Australia, and AG Jess Sama of D 3790. It was explained that the work of BYOND is in three phases. Phase One is the Emergency Response and where relief is driven by needs on the ground and would likely include shelter in family sized tents, shelter repair kits, tools and materials for repair and rebuilding, and assistance with debris removal. Phase Two is the Relief Phase which would involve replacing tents with more permanent, possibly modular structures, supplying construction materials for community assets along with building expertise and guidance, and facilitating restoration of community infrastructures.

he Rotary Club of Metro San Fernando La Union in partnership with the City Health Office launched its “Dance to End Polio Now” program last July 12, 2014 in front of the City Hall. By VIDA JOYCE MANGAOANG

Pres. Marilyn Hidalgo and CHO Director Ed Posadas signed a memorandum of agreement integrating this program every month in the City's Fit & Fun Program to raise public awareness about polio and how the community can help Rotary eradicate this disease. As an accredited non-government organization of the City of San Fernando, RC Metro SFLU supports the city government's vision of becoming Northern Luzon's Center for Health and Wellness by 2020. Together with the Rotaract Club of DMMMSU-MLUC, family and friends, Rotarians wearing their red “End Polio Now” shirts join the one-hour Zumba dance session, held every Saturday from 5:30 am to 6:30 am. “Dance to End Polio” video is now available at Youtube
